   I find myself pressed for time.  I'm at the half-way-through point of proofing   
   the book for publication, and I like to get all my dreams, Quora.com and   
   facebook posts caught up before lunch (usually runs after lunch) and then   
   there may be some day chores    
   (like mowing, shopping, etc.) that get in the way, so I've been giving *less*   
   time to typing.  On those days when I don't even post, chances are there were   
   at least 2 or 3 dreams, but I was distracted enough to get into other things   
   and they were easily    
   evaporated before I got around to thinking of posting them.   
      
   Then there are those times (like today) where there were so many, I started   
   *out* by listing them (by short title) then went back to fill in the details,   
   and even then *some* evaporation takes place, leading to shorter posts.   
      
   I noticed that, if one wants to get more *out of* one's dreams, then sure,   
   post every morning, and start out with just those fragments you remember.    
   You'll find that as you type them out, details may start to drift back into   
   place.  That's how I got to    
   the point of posting such longer, involved scenarios.   
      
   As to the "Gina Train", quitters never win, and winners never quit.  In 1995,   
   I asked her (in a courtroom FULL of witnesses AND her husband, with her on the   
   stand) "Will you divorce your Canadian husband and marry me?"  The "Crown"   
   (prosecuting attorney)    
   objected, and (short answer) I told the judge that I'd handed my future over   
   to her, so he would have to judge me from HER perspective.  The judge replied   
   "I will not allow the question!"  Note this is NOT "overruled" nor "sustained"   
   but "I will not" (of    
   course, I wasn't asking HIM) followed by "allow the question."  Skip forward a   
   decade or two (to around 2017 or 2018) and I find out she's DIVORCED from her   
   first husband!  If I had not been wasting time with Joyce, I *could* have been   
   #2.  As it is, it    
   looks like I *may* end up as #3 (third time's a charm anyways) so I need to   
   get the book in place so as to provide a *means to SUPPORT* her (and myself)   
   as one must be able to "afford one's dream."  Anyways, I've managed to smooth   
   out MANY *STUPID*    
   qualities from my youth, so the time has at least been put to *some* good   
   use.  Some of the hardest lessons have been understanding "I want to marry a   
   wealthy man" and also how to forgive myself for being such a complete ass back   
   when I should have been    
   a perfect gentleman (as well as a scoundrel) at the proper times.
